Chapter 533 - SINCERE APOLOGY
ALL five were now sitting at the round table. There was an awkward silence at first. It was Shen Ji Yun who spoke first and broke that.
"I admit that this matter was our negligence. So, as the captain of Yunyue, I sincerely offer you my apologies," he said with a serious tone, bowing his head slightly.
How could the two from team Celestials still show dissatisfaction at this moment? Even though they weren't that familiar with YUN, they knew this guy was famous for his coldness and indifference. He rarely gave others face. Unless you're part of his team, he probably wouldn't even look at you.
They knew about that, because their captain – Li Xu Min - had tried to invite YUN for a PvP battle in the Swordsman leaderboard, but the other had always ignored Li Xu Min. That didn't happen just one time but a number of times. But YUN just always ignored their captain. It was not until Zhong Hui had enough and talked to Li Xu Min that the other finally stopped.
It was an open secret among the major members of their team that Li Xu Min wanted to have an official battle with YUN. It was simply because of the fact that YUN was a very strong opponent. In fact, he was the one most disappointed when he found out that Yunyue was no longer participating in the Arcadia Cup.
Although Li Xu Min appeared like some well-behaved angel and he was really like that most of the time. But when it came to fighting in the game, he could be quite the crazy one. Of course, not in the way that was like some psycho killer machine. But like someone who always wanted to fight someone powerful.
Duan Yu could only think that this was Li Xu Min's way of releasing stress. After all, that guy probably had a lot of pent-up stress growing up. If playing against powerful player could help him to reduce it, as his friends, they could only support him.
It was not only the two people from team Celestials who were surprised by Shen Ji Yun's straightforward apology, Luo Yan and Bai Ze were also a bit shocked.
Bai Ze had been friends with Shen Ji Yun for more than a decade now. When did he see this friend apologizing like this? Don't get him wrong, it's not because Shen Ji Yun didn't know how to apologize to people. It's because, most of the time, the other people were the ones who needed to apologize.
With Shen Ji Yun's temperament, he was not the type to initiate trouble. But because of the said temperament, added that to his extraordinary appearance, it was always other people who trouble him. So, hearing him apologized so sincerely was like a novel experience for Bai Ze.
Luo Yan, on the other hand, was used to Shen Ji Yun apologizing. After all, the other always apologized to him every time he did something wrong. What he was surprised about was him taking in all the blame. Because if one knew about this whole situation, they would quickly understand that the source of this all was him. And yet, Shen Ji Yun didn't hesitate to take all the blame for him.
If he hadn't yet known that this guy was in love with him, then he would have his suspicion now. Nevertheless, this small move of Shen Ji Yun still put a smile on his lips. Not a false smile but one of his rare genuine ones.
"No matter whose fault it was, I just want to know the reason why you have to let your… pet imitate our captain," Zhong Hui said, he still felt a bit unbelievable knowing that the little fox was actually a pet. Which meant that it was no better than an NPC. He had never seen such a spiritual NPC.
Luo Yan took the initiative to explain. Since Shen Ji Yun didn't hesitate to put the blame on himself, then Luo Yan should at least do this small thing.
"I will send you a video and it will immediately explain the reason why we have to use such a method." He turned to the fierce looking Angel. "Can you tell me your game account name?"
He wouldn't be able to send the video to them if he didn't know their game account name. He already knew Uriel. So, this person was the only one remaining.
"Gabriel," Zhong Hui said simply.
The corner of Luo Yan's mouth almost twitched. Uriel, Michael, and now Gabriel. So, was this team Celestials not only made up of Angels, their account name also had to be the name of a famous angel? What if they didn't get the Angel race during the random selection?
Now that he thought about it, no wonder that Raphael used 'Raphael' as a game account name. He wanted to shake his head at that realization. Just how much does that guy like Celestials' captain for him to take that name, thinking that he would be an Angel? That guy's feelings were most likely close to being obsessive. If it was not cut immediately, there's a high chance that he might turn into psycho-stalker.
How scary. In this way, team Celestials should probably thank them for unveiling the real face of such an ardent admirer of their captain.
Luo Yan no longer thought about that and just opened his Status Window. There was a bunch of videos saved there. All of it were taken from the scene earlier at the small pavilion. There were a lot because they were taken from different angles.
He picked one that showed Raphael's face clearly. And just chose the part where he acted totally crazy – grabbing Eclipse in Michael's form and shouting things like how he couldn't like Noctis or some shit. And also the part where he admitted about him being the one responsible for that article.
The technology inside the holographic game was pretty advanced, so he managed to cut that part quite fast. And then he sent it both to Uriel and Gabriel.
When the two received the video, they quickly opened it. Because only the players could see and hear whatever was sent to their Message Tab, Luo Yan and the others could only watch them and wait for their reaction.
Duan Yu wasn't really sure what he would see. But when he saw a player who obviously belonged to the Angel race shouting like a madman to the fake 'Michael'. The things he said, it was obvious that the other was professing his feelings for their captain.
He recognized this player. Even though the other was an Angel, he never thought of recruiting him into their team. It was not often that there were new players that had the Angel race. So, as much as possible, he had always tried to recruit every last one of them. But before that, he had to first test their character. After all, he couldn't just let just anyone enter their team.
When he met this Raphael, he could immediately tell that the other had a scheming mind. He also had one, so, it's easy for him to recognize the same kind. That's why he decided not to recruit him.
Who would have thought that this guy actually had that kind of thought towards Li Xu Min?
He then glanced at Zhong Hui. When he saw the other's scary expression as if he wanted to murder someone, he could only shake his head.
